    I delivered US Mail once. Very specific instructions, arrival into Springfield at 9:04 pm due with trailer dropped into a very specific spot with number.

    At 9:00 that trailer was dropped, at 9:03 handed the bills to the postmaster dock who started yelling at me for the things I was told to do. Which was where the trailer needed to be in the beginning.

    I don't think my company got to hauling any more of those US Mail loads and it will be the last time I deal with Mass at 110+ They can have it.

    @x1Heavy
    That was some odd instructions your company gave you. Unless it's a regular daily route that goes to same dock door everyday, you always check in.
    Sounds like desk jockeys at both places made the decisions for the you and the expeditor.

    @x1Heavy Many times the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at these places.

    I saw a couple Target trans Logistic at the Pittsburgh PDC last weekend. They look like a new startup company with new trailers and lease trucks. I will try to have a chat with the drivers next time I see them there

    Interesting. Yeah see if they are doing drop ships or routes.
    You heard anything about McCormick troubles?

    You can add me to your list. Mostly office now in safety, scheduling, and postal contracts. Still drive every week though.

    I know Matheson runs out west. Enter at your own risk that's all I can tell you.
